Failures
1. Having my wisdom teeth pulled :( I've been putting this off for about 6 years now...and they are slowly coming in
Successes
1. Finally finished my puzzle!
2. At work today, I helped a guy figure out how he was going to propose to his girlfriend (she loves BBM cupcakes).
3. While reading Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Tales and Poems in Washington Square Park, a man sat down next to the bench next to mine. Not thinking anything of it, I continued to read on. He looked at my book cover (as apparently everybody else had been, according to him) because the book I was holding was as big as a dictionary and had "Edgar Allan Poe" stamped across the front in gigantic letters. Now, why would this little girl be reading about Edgar Allan Poe and not about the Kardashians or some other piece of reading that turns your brain into mush. This is something along the lines of what he chuckled to me and from then we kept up a conversation. He was a writer who, coincidentally was reading his email conversations regarding the designs for his new book, and I am an aspiring children's book illustrator. We laughed at the coincidence and eventually exchanged contact information.
This is a slap-in-the-face example of the philosophy that I strongly believe in: Everything happens for a reason. I guess it's the same as believing in string theory. There was a reason I decided to walk into Barnes and Noble and go to the bargain books section and notice the insignificant stack of Edgar Allan Poe books for only $8. There was a reason I decided to read in the park that day instead of going back to my apartment as I usually do. There was a reason I met this man.
There was a reason I ate all those Trader Joe's Dunkers...
...so that I will regret them later
